SEND - Special Educational Needs and/or Disabilities

We offer a wealth of support to children who are identified has having Special Educational Needs and/or Disabilities (SEND).  We liaise closely with outside agencies such as Speech and Language therapists, Learning Support Services, Educational Psychologists and Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS).  Below are links and documents detailing the services they offer. Our SEND Policy, information statement and Medical Needs Policy, as well as our Accessibility Plan can be found on our Policies page by clicking this link : Policies

Our Assistant Headteacher for Special Educational Needs and Disabilities is Mrs H Jennings.
